Good morning all, an above average temp today, some put it in the low 70's, but they're still saying rain starting tomorrow night. Some have rain through the end of this year and into next year. Rather unusual since February is usually a rainy month. Also have snow for up north, gunna be a white Christmas for those folks.
Gas prices here holding steady at .001 cent under $3.00, brand name gas around ten cents more. Someone on the news said we should see a drop of around fifteen cents soon due to an excess in storage. Even then, we'll be over the national average and fifty cents higher than Tucson.
Don't want to sound envious or anything, but I'm wondering if there'll ever be a limit to what they pay sports people. They hired a new quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals for $30 million, (BTW, he lost six games in a row for a loosing season), then the Diamondbacks got someone for a mere $185 million. Thinking that was a tad excessive, then I see where the Yankees bought someone for $345 million. That's about what it cost to build the Cardinals stadium, paid for by the taxpaying public since the team couldn't afford to build one on their own. The Diamondbacks and the Coyotes are both threatening to leave if they don't get new venues, both have taxpayer funded ones that they say are too old. Just wondering out loud....
